/* SHE is at a birthday party with her friend */

Aparna: Wo nahi aya tere saath?

SHE: Baat nahi hui. . . I was busy.

Aparna: Kya hua, you look apprehensive?

SHE: Nothing yaar. . . bas, aise hi

Aparna: Arey, bol na!

# After some hesitation

SHE: Rishit called, he wants to meet me tomorrow!

# Aparna says bluntly sipping her drink

Aparna: Then don't go, simple.

# SHE is mulling something deeply

Aparna: Kya soch rahi hai?

# SHE's a little hesitant, wants to speak up but holds back

# Aparna understands what's going on in her mind and says vehemently

Aparna: Tu pagal hai kya?. . . After everything Rishit put you through you still want to meet him?!

SHE (Defending): It's just a meeting na. . . mile bhi toh nahi hain itne time se!

# Aparna tries to make a point

Aparna: And then what about HIM?

# A short silence ensues after which Aparna despondently says 

Aparna: Do whatever makes you happy.

# Aparna looks away

SHE: Acha chal chod na. . . Teri presentation ka kya hua? Manager toh khoob impress hua hoga?

Aparna : Aya hi nahi 😒

SHE (Quizzically): Kyun?. . . Wo toh bada bol raha tha, 'Aparna, this is an important pitch, the presentation must be top notch' fir aya kyun nahi? 

Aparna: Hmm. . . Biwi ki delivery thi na.

SHE (Stunned): Kya, chautha baccha!! 😯 Abey factory khol rakhi hai kya?

Aparna (Hysterically): 😁😁, nahi khole-ga! 

SHE (Sipping her drink): Aise population control hoga India ka, batao!

# A friend comes calling the two for cake cutting

Random Friend: Chalo, chalo cake kaat ne wale hain

--- CUT TO HER HOUSE ---

/* SHE gets back home by 2:00 AM with Aparna. As soon as she gets to bed she gets a FB notification where SHE's tagged in a photo and HE's in it as well. Looking at HIM she starts reminiscing all the good times she spent with him and suddenly SHE gets a text from Rishit */

Rishit: Hey, didn't sleep yet?

SHE: Yeah, was just about to

Rishit: So tomorrow at 5, Phoenix cafe?

SHE: Uhmm. . . 

# SHE is typing. . . 

SHE: Actually, I'm a little busy.

Rishit: Well. . . 

Rishit: No problem, then maybe next week?

# SHE thinks for a moment and then sends him a text

SHE: Actually, no!

SHE: I don't want to see you

SHE: And don't call me anymore

# Rishit is typing. . . 

Rishit: Listen. . . 

Rishit: I really miss you!

# Rishit is typing. . . 

#SHE looks at the text and blocks Rishit, throws her phone aside and takes a deep breath

# SHE thinks for a moment and calls HIM

# HE picks up and in a drowsy tone he says

HE: Hmm, kya hua?

# SHE breathes heavily and says politely

SHE: I Love You.

# HE's dumbfound, SHE's never said that to HIM before

HE: Kya!. . . Lekin iss waqt. . .

SHE (Interrupting): Don't say anything

# Silence ensues

SHE: I Love You.

HE: Yeah, but. . . 

SHE: Goodnight.

# SHE interrupts HIM again and hangs up

# HE's still trying to comprehend what just happened and all of a sudden a loud smack comes from the living room.

# HE walks into the living room and sees that Kabilan is frustrated

HE: What happened, da?

# Kabi's playing FIFA on PS4 and he just lost a nail bitter

Kabi: Fucker, scored the winner in the last minute, FUCK YOU!!! 😠

HE: Kya kya problems hain logon ki life me. 😒

# Walks back into HIS room

--- CUT TO HER ROOM ---

#SHE hangs up and keeps HER phone aside, SHE has a smile on HER face. SHE dozes off while SHE's thinking about HIM.
